no way

me, nonplussed
2 hour post is 150. exercised, if you can call it that in this pain, for 20 minutes. my gut reaction is that something is wrong with my insulin batch. messaging the doctor's office and making an appointment.

well, well, well

me, nonplussed
i am back.
woke up at 8-ish, pain mostly in my middle back, pretty intense, about a 5. hips very tight.

112 fasting at 8:30. one slice white toast, two soft cooked eggs, one cup of tea, black.

it felt not horrible

me, nonplussed
i got reallly bored about 22 minutes or so in, changed the music, sped it up, got back into it.
i think that i am going to be in MASSIVE pain tomorrow because i am one sedentary bitch. the muscles in the front of my hipbones, oy vey. short and tight. noticed those especially. and my calves. lactic acid anyone? i have plenty.

forgot to take BG before. right now it is 77. i did not adjust my basal rate because i ate pizza for dinner and did a combo bolus. that, in hindsight, was probably retarded. i am going to shower, so i will take the thing off for about 20 minutes. will check before bed.

i don't care. that felt good. i am even a bit sweaty! i don't sweat like a normal person. it takes a lot to get me sweaty. exercise i mean.

in other bad sugar related news, my infusion sets and cartridges are in fact COPAYS, not an 80/20 split as i had feared. so that puts me at about 100 a month and change for my bad sugar meds.

shower. advil. possible ultram. bed. SRK movie. stat!

going to the endo

me, nonplussed
today.
issues to discuss:
the stronger insulin that will require less site changes.
being sick for the last MONTH.
birth control pills.

i need prescriptions for:
insulin, whichever we choose.
strips, the max amount with refills for my mail order.
brand name BC pills, if she will.

one week today.

me, nonplussed
i have had my pump for one week today. i have had, by and large, way way better blood sugars with it, the only problem so far is lows. taking a lot less insulin.
actually, i am sick as a dawg today with a cold and i am about to leave for the doctor's with vincent, who is sick too. >:(
i will come back to this journal now and only talk about my pump issues here. i have an issue today, an emotional one, that i am afraid to be alone when i am sick right now. so i asked my mom for help and she is coming, but she wasn't going to at first, cause of her work schedule. this really hurt my feelings. i know it isn't her job to drop everything else and take care of me, but the last couple of times that i have broken down and actually said, "i need help" she hasn't exactly rushed to my side.
anyway, i will write more about that later. now, i will be grateful that she is coming over to help and not resentful that the first time i called to ask her she talked about work and when i said "never mind, i will be fine" she said "ok, call me later!".
i am a brat i guess.

see, this is annoying.

me, nonplussed
i was going to go to the gym and i remembered everything but my towel. now all i can do at the gym is the treadmill, cause the weights get sweaty and you need a towel cause it is gross, and i obviously wanted to swim. and then, of course,reward my efforts in the hot tub.
i can do the treadmill at home, and i will.
going back to update the annoying food log.

let the annoying food-obsession begin

me, nonplussed
i see the diabetic nurse educator in one week, so here begins my food log. i HATE writing down what i eat, although i love that it keeps me honest. i just associate being obsessed with food as narcissistic, so i have to remember that i am not obsessing, i am being mindful and most importantly, i am researching to find what foods and combos gives me the lowest blood sugar, requiring the least amount of insulin, to cause the least amount of weight gain and produce weight LOSS.
i am going to update as i go, when i have time. i am going to post pictures for the next 30 days to keep me honest. i am going to do a nightly wrap up if i don't have time during the day to post as i go.
